Yup - it looks for whatever you enter, so the email alias is the thing you'd put. Works a treat for filtering, just a shame the to address is displayed as the main account rather than the alias. But the filtering does the trick

Hey,

The problem is that whilst it's displayed in the headers and message details in OWA, I can't see any way to filter it based on it being displayed there, it only seems to filter based on what you see first of all (the "to" field) here:

If there's some way to create a filter that is able to look at key parts of the header and filter based on that receiving address, that would do. As it stands (and without fiddling in depth) i can only seem to filter based on the "to" address above

hello,

I've noticed that when emailing an alias created in the Exchange 2013 product, that when you've received the email, the "to" field in that email is that of the associated account rather than the alias address. This makes it quite difficult to set any sort of conditional formatting / email rules to filter based on the "to" address.

Is this intentional? Or is this a bug, and should it show the alias as opposed to the associated account? Short of telling people to put keywords in the subject, it makes it pretty difficult to filter stuff
